Two dates this Spring for the Community drum circle in Livermore!

Join us at the Bothwell art center for a FREE community drum circle facilitated by master drummer and dance teacher Ibrahima (Ibou) Ngom. No prior knowledge of drumming
or musical skill is necessary. Join master drummer Ibrahima (Ibou) N’gom in
this workshop that provides a wonderful way to explore music, culture and promote
togetherness. Drummers will learn simple rhythms and be able to progress to
more complex notes and beats. Bring your drum or borrow one of ours. This
unique cultural and recreational experience is not one to miss! Please use the registration form below to register for the drum circle

About Ibou

Ibrahima (Ibou) N’gom facilitates community drumming and dancing with adults and students of all ages. He has worked with and performed for elementary through high school students, at-risk youth and university students. He is a SPECTRA Resident Artist. Ibou speaks English, Spanish, French and his native Wolof. His group Domu Africa is a favorite in Santa Cruz and the Bay Area. Together they bring the sights and sounds of Senegal alive through traditional music and dance performances. With his set of student sized instruments Ibou can turn any room into an African drum corp. His patient and friendly teaching style makes him a popular teacher. Born into a Griot family of traditional musicians in Senegal, West Africa, he has been carrying on his family’s musical lineage since childhood. Ibrahima toured with two prominent Senegalese dance companies, the 2nd National Ballet of Senegal and the Ballet Sinomew before coming to the Unites States seven years ago. Since then Ibou has been working to share his native culture’s music and dance traditions with US audiences and especially students. He is available to lead classes in dance and/or accompany other musicians.
